Does the "No contact" rule actually work or is

Its very hard, and thats just for me going off of cutting contact with a girl I like who has a boyfriend now. I still have very strong urges to talk to her but I have to keep reminding myself that I am only getting in her way and making myself look like a childish desperate idiot who begs for her attention when I try to start a convo knowing she is either with the guy or talking to him.

Whether it works or not who knows but mate literally what else can you do that will benefit you?

Well being an annoying desperate loser won't help.

The best thing for you and possibly your relationship is no contact. An ex of mine got back to me after years wanting to get together, but I said no because I found someone better.

What do you mean by "work?" What are you trying to do here?

If someone has been abusive or manipulative and you're trying to cut them out of your life for good, then yes. If you're trying to play mind-games with a girl that you like, then probably no.

It's a meme unless you're in puberty. Once you get older you'll realize that you have better shit to do instead of playing mindgames.
